This past Thursday I sang the National Anthem for the Special Olympics Basketball Tournament in my hometown of Perham, MN.
Last year I sang at this event as Princess Altona. I was so honored to be asked to sing again. I love seeing all of the athletes and getting to visit with them. I recieved many hugs and congrats on my title.
Amanda Wothe introduced me. She is such a fabulous young woman. Amanda has downs syndrome, but nothing stops her! She even spoke at her graduation! She is such an inspiration. Lacey Erickson, Miss Heart of the Lakes was there as the Special Guest. She encouraged all of the atheletes to work their hardest as a team and as an individual. I had a blast catching up with her! Her words of encouragement before I sang were great! (She is also a singer.) :)
After the athletes had made there march, and the color gaurd was introduced by Amanda, I sang our National Anthem. I was pleased with how it went!
I hope that all of the athletes had a complete blast! I would like to thank the Perham Area Special Olympics for inviting me once again to be part of their wonderful event.
Always,
Paige
